Chapter 13 The Great Collapse

Twenty minutes later, Su Ming was taken by Xia Xiaoyu to this hotel.

"Is this the highest-end hotel you mentioned?"

Su Ming stood in the hotel lobby and looked around.

There are no dazzling crystal chandeliers, classical fountains and rockery, and no special isolation for guests to rest. The decoration of this hotel is not luxurious or grand, but as simple as a homestay.

Moreover, this hotel is only ten floors, not high at all.

"Because Dongyang Island is a taboo island, there is no tourism industry at all, and there are almost no foreign residents, so the accommodation industry here is not developed.

The hotel you are in is top-notch here. If you want to stay in a better place, you can only go to the club...but the nearest club is a distance away from here." Xia Xiaoyu explained enthusiastically.

Su Ming discovered that the other party once again mentioned the Forbidden Island.

"What does the Forbidden Island mean?"

"I'll tell you soon, don't be anxious. Spending an afternoon is enough to let you understand the most basic common sense."

"I feel it's really hard to mess around here." Su Ming sighed.

"Don't be discouraged. With Teacher Xia here, it won't take long to become a local native." Xia Xiaoyu smiled. She patted Su Ming's shoulder gently and leaned into Su Ming's ear and said, "Don't worry, I will hand over all the knowledge I know to you."

Su Ming felt his ears were a little hot, but he didn't dare to turn his head because Xia Xiaoyu was right next to his face and he turned his head and met his eyes.

Damn it! How could this woman be so cute!

...

In the hotel room, Xia Xiaoyu's guidance has lasted for several hours

After Xia Xiaoyu's careful teaching, Su Ming roughly learned what this world is like.

He was very glad that he did not conceal the identity of a time traveler from Xia Xiaoyu, because the identity of a time traveler could not be hidden in this world.

Without the guidance of local natives like Xia Xiaoyu, any time traveler would reveal his identity in daily chats.

For example, the previous conversation between himself and Flora, a small "travel" will reveal his lack of common sense.

To be honest, Su Ming was shocked. This world was completely different from the world where Su Ming was originally.

Humans in this world have experienced a super natural disaster, which has completely deviated from the conventional world's history.

Two hundred and sixty years ago, a natural disaster occurred. In that year, the mainland plate fell apart, and the seven continents broke out like puzzles.

The cracked land produced huge displacements over the long years afterwards.

Some plates flew into the sky and became islands in the air, while others sank into the seabed and became underwater Atlantis.

The sea level is no longer flat. The sea surfaces in different regions are divided into high and low. All common sense is broken during that period, and supernatural powers are reflected in every corner of the world.

In history books, that period was called the "Year of Collapse", and that disaster was called the Great Collapse.

The great collapse completely changed the world pattern because the concept of state no longer exists. The fragments of continents far away from each other cannot be called a unified country at all. Therefore, forces based on islands have risen one after another.

At the same time, extraordinary power and terrifying weirdness also appeared at the same time, and it increased year by year. Human security was seriously harmed, which eventually led to humans having to rely on extraordinary power to protect themselves. Although this choice made society stable again, at the same time, order and social classes were also reshuffled.

In the next two hundred years, mainstream ideas such as human supremacy, supernatural supremacy, and balanced faction appeared. These three mainstream views were difficult to distinguish between the top and bottom for a long time, and each had its own fans.

Until one hundred and sixty years ago, the first forbidden island appeared, and its appearance once again changed the pattern of the world.

The forbidden island has two characteristics.

The first characteristic is extraordinaryness. Anyone who enters this island has a relatively small probability of gaining superpowers.

The second characteristic is that there is no entry or exit, that is, people entering this island are almost unable to leave. If they leave this island for a certain distance, they will die suddenly in a short time.

For this reason, the Forbidden Island has become a paradise for criminals. Criminals who have no way to escape like to break into a forbidden island. As long as they enter here, no one will chase them in.

Because this is a natural cage, when a crime enters the cell, the police enter and enter the cell.

The emergence of the Forbidden Island gives the opportunity to rise to the supremacy of the supernatural powers.

At that time, another reborn man named Lu Tianyi defeated the government armed forces on a taboo island with one force and led the psychics to establish their own dictatorial empire.

This terrifying action that caused a sensation around the world became the fuse and directly led to the prosperity of supremacy of the supernatural powers.

As a result, the powerful psychics launched rebellions on various taboo islands. They replaced the local government and established a society with psychics as the main body, and called it a new society.

During that time, ordinary people on the islands almost lost their social status as humans and became slaves.

Until another fifty years later, another unknown psychic man defeated Lu Tianyi and his psychic man group alone, destroyed several dictatorial islands similar to Lu Tianyi, and liberated all ordinary humans.

Only after that, the balancer began to replace superpower supremacy and became the mainstream view of the masses.

After another fifty years, human supremacy has become the current mainstream public opinion.

Until now, human supremacy still occupies the dominant position in the trend of thought.

However, although human supremacy dominates the world, there are still many residents of taboo islands who still stubbornly adhere to the supremacy of supernatural powers.

They still rely on the natural advantages of the forbidden island to maintain their social order in that small area.

Xia Xiaoyu also said that this island just changed from supernatural supremacy to human supremacy just ten years ago.

"So, in Dongyang Island, due to historical problems, the current social order is dominated by the Bureau of Investigation!" Xia Xiaoyu gave the final classroom summary.

"No wonder that civil servant is so arrogant. It turns out that this is the reason." Su Ming suddenly realized.

He lowered his head and thought for a while, raised his hand and asked, "I still have a question. Why can the Japanese civil servant I met speak so fluently in Chinese? And the name on his business card is marked with Chinese. "
